New Zealand Co-operative Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Zealand Co-operative Party was a short-lived political party in New Zealand. It was established by anti-socialist political organiser Albert Davy after he left the People's Movement. Davy had previously managed a number of successful political campaigns for other parties, but had frequently fallen out with his colleagues over ideological differences. The Co-operative Party was strongly rooted in Davy's strong hostility to the left-wing Labour Party, which was in government at the time. Davy soon abandoned his new party, however, and returned to the remnants of the People's Movement. The Co-operative Party never won seats in Parliament.
